costs of christmas leave british pension is in a far from festive period. hello and very good even if you just joined us is kevin owen here at the new center tonight our top story syria's rebels say at least sixty people have been killed in a government air strike on a bakery in the central hama province state run media has broadcast a denial instead accusing the opposition of the killings designed to smear the authorities it said just as the international peace envoy visits damascus province has witnessed intense fighting in the past few days meantime russia's foreign ministers rebuffed speculation that moscow is looking to give asylum to president

assad and that russia shielding his government so he spoke exclusively to us and more on that from our correspondent he got pissed enough. russia's foreign minister once again stressed that there could only be a diplomatic solution to this conflict adding that moscow is not taking sides and has condemned the syrian authorities for using disproportionate force the security forces clearly were and are prepared to face public. protests and armed protests in the cities and villages they have been through you know to counter foreign aggression not to keep law and order a civilized manner however the minister also said that this doesn't rule out the fact that the rebels continue provoking syrian after henri's and he criticized the west for failing to condemn the actions of some groups within the syrian opposition who sometimes go to the most extreme measures like taking hostages or even

terrorism it's absolutely unacceptable if partners in the west would start would begin to. qualify terrorist as. bad terrorist and acceptable terrorists will also ask the minister why he thinks and later was so eager to deploy the six batteries the interceptor missiles on turkey's border with syria and why. or iran could be the actual target here's what he said that's what some people say. the configuration as it is being presented in the media. really looks like it could be used against the room for another vital issue concerning syria is that stockpile of chemical weapons going to russia is cheap diplomatic or outside where you seem to acknowledge that it's the responsibility of syrian afterwards to keep it safe and that it would be unacceptable if the rebels got their hands on it but then it makes very little sense of why some states in the west continue persuading the rebels to continue

fighting by giving them more political and financial support. and that will bring in more light from secular laws exclusive interview later tonight source available online if want to check it out right now at r.t. dot com. you may remember the story r.t. brought you earlier on this year of a man who had british citizenship revoked and then who disappeared in africa while we cannot tell he was reappeared apparently in a new york court charged with terrorism offenses the unexplained emergence of maddie how she in the us adds weight to fees it may have been a victim of america's the tourist rendition program there's talk now to go if she can a washington correspondent got a hi the first bit more about marty's case it's a little bit following for a good few months now but it's quite a surprising turn up again isn't it. well kevin the twenty year old men mocked the how she stands accused of providing material support to somali

militant group al-shabaab she was stripped of his british citizenship earlier this summer over accusations of his involvement with islamist extremists at the time he and his family tried to contest that decision they claim that m i five. to label him an islamic extremist if he refused to become an informant for british intelligence and spy on the muslim community marty how she complained to the vesta gator e powers tribunals the body which oversees m i five he also spoke to the media but nothing came out of those efforts shortly after his citizenship was revoked he went missing on the outskirts of mogadishu somalia and one of our reporters with his parents several months ago and they had no idea where their son was and they were very worried about him apparently all this time he'd been in u.s. custody also on trial along with marty ha she faces similar charges are two other men swedish nationalists so all of these men are not u.s.

citizens and yet they ended up here and one of the questions that we're still expecting the prosecutors to answer is what these men's alleged activities had to do with the united states in the course this coming three years and the only case of its kind it's just one of the united states terrified to. kevin this is not the only case in the u.s. courts against alleged terrorists for acts committed over see one of the things that many find alarming is how the u.s. finds smuggling foreign nationals in complete secrecy perfectly a lawful often keeping the families of those captured in in the dark for months as far as treating foreign nationals suspected of terrorism the u.s. has a set track record hundreds of people have been through the u.s. prison in guantanamo many of them were subject to torture the chief prosecutor at guantanamo under george w. bush told me most of them were not terrorists and due to the extraordinary rendition program all kinds of people would end up there from different countries

for different reasons stripped of their rights many human rights organizations have been vocal about a lawful practices that kuantan of all and yet it's still open by the way despite president obama's pledges to close the prison president obama has adopted his own method of chasing down terrorists and sending that that is sending drones to kill suspected terrorists in the vast majority of cases they're killed not captured or tried garnishes you can thanks for bringing us up to speed on this there from washington d.c. the u.k. is going to prefer peace military presence in the gulf we talk about that soon on the way we've expert opinion on what might be behind britain's plans for strengthening its defense ties with the region's roils plus it's all downhill in to us weekly sports show ladies really a talent for a night to join thousands watching a massive slalom first. domus

still very high in russia and india remain very close allies this group reeks of five probably say speak in countries like america quite nervous because they have their own interests in this particular region especially defense interests both in their military presence in the backyard of china and by this visit by this gathering today here in india the role the increasing role and importance of basic group of experts say actually is able to counterbalance their western dominance in the world has been stressed and outlined again and again the two political analysts were mangal told us will fast growing economies have many more reasons for partnership than rivalry these days i think we will see out of necessity but closer drawing together russia and china simply because the child.
